Szechwan Peppercorns

Szechuan peppercorns are known for their distinct tingling, numbing sensation rather than traditional pepper heat. They are fragrant with bright citrus notes and a light woody character. When toasted and ground, they release a sharp lemony aroma followed by a mouth-tingling effect that heightens other flavors in the dish. Use them in stir fries, roasted vegetables, or as part of a crust for beef, chicken, or seafood.
